Jimmy Kimmel Live launched a week‑long series of episodes at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on Tuesday night, marking the first show of the run.
The late‑night program was staged in BAM’s historic Howard Gilman Opera House, with a live audience gathered for the opening performance. The episode featured the usual mix of comedy monologue, celebrity interviews and musical segments, adapted for the Brooklyn venue.
BAM, founded in 1861, is one of the United States’ oldest performing‑arts centers and is known for presenting a diverse range of theater, dance, music and film. Hosting a televised talk‑show taping adds to the venue’s tradition of high‑profile events.
Jimmy Kimmel Live, which normally records in Los Angeles, periodically takes its set on the road for special episodes. The Brooklyn week‑long stint follows similar pop‑up productions the show has staged in other major cities, offering fans a chance to experience the program outside its usual studio setting.
